MUSIC MONDAY: WatiBigali by Big Ali ft. Wati-B

The entire weekend was just all about recuperating.  Really.  It has been a jampacked week (and I’m not even done with my Bali posts yet!) so I just slept in both days.

Oh wait.  We welcomed my cousin and his family from New York last Saturday.

Man, I think I am still out of it.  But I have to admit, this music snapped me back to life.  I believe this is French.  Overheard while watching Blue Is The Warmest Color, this music had the right kind of upbeat and ambiguity to it.

And no, I don’t think I’ll be listening to more of this anytime soon.  Hehehe.

Have a great week, everyone!

MUSIC MONDAY: Into The Ocean by Blue October

Quick post for this lovely tradition.

I’m blogging to you live from Kuta, Bali, Indonesia!  We’ve been stranded since Saturday but we’re all good.  While our luck in flying home has obviously run out, everything else is well as we are surrounded by the kindest Balinese people we’ve ever met.

Can’t wait to tell you all about this vacation-turned-extended adventure.  For now, let’s appreciate the face that Bali’s beaches are not bad to get lost in.

MUSIC MONDAY: Kansas City by The New Basement Tapes

Last week, we featured the New Basement Tapes and I completely fell in love with their sound.  I was racking my brain who were the band members and why they’re so familiar, when I stumbled upon another single, Kansas City.

This group was put together by T Bone Burnett to add music to the lyrics written by the legendary Bob Dylan.  These lyrics were called the basement tapes recordings.  Wow.  Just wow.

OH.  MY.  GOD.  Isn’t that amazing?  Even Johnny Depp got in the action, playing a few tracks on the album!

Anyway, here’s Kansas City for you.  I hope I get to see this group play live.  Too bad, I think they just rallied for that one invite-only concert.  I would have paid to see this group play.
